1837. In February a list was made of voters qualified to vote for state and county officers, representa- tives to Congress, electors of president and vice-president of the United States. This list contained twenty- nine names. In addition to those of the pioneers are Henry Evans, John Griffin, and Erastus Hubbard. This year Congress voted a division of the surplus revenue among the several towns and cities of the county. There was a great deal of political feeling on the subject, and Gorham voted not to receive their share of the division. At the same meeting, held March 14, 1837, the voters of the town cast their votes for the first time for county and state officers. There was no opposition candidate for governor, councillor, senator, register of deeds and county treasurer. Each candidate received twenty-five votes.

Ordway, Samnel Emery, Aaron Rowell, selectmen; Andrew G. Lary, treasurer. A vote was subsequently taken to devote the interest of the surphis revenue to the support of the schools.

Shelburne, Gorham, Berlin, and Success were classed in one representative district. March 15, 1837, the inhabitants of this dis- triet assembled in Gorham, and threw their votes for representative. The people were no longer a unit. F. I. Bean, S. Emery, A. G. Lary, S. Peabody, J. D. Burbank, J. Chandler, received one vote each; Barker

Burbank had twenty-five votes, O. B. Howe had forty-eight votes and was elected. Few persons are now living who realize the intensity of political feeling during these years. During the Presidency of John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin VanBuren, and William H. Harrison, politics ran high, and he was a remarkable man who could vote on any subject or for any man on the true merits of the case. At a town meeting, November 4, 1837, the first juryman, Abraham Wilson, was drawn to attend the court at Lancaster. At a meeting of the inhabitants in town meeting assembled at the house of A. G. Lary, June 8, 1837, it was voted to build a school-house in district No. 2. This was the first public school-house built in the town. It was built during that year near Joseph Twitchell's. The same year a road was laid ont, three rods wide, from Berlin line to Gorham. The citizens built the road with their own labor. From the date of its incor- poration the town increased in population and wealth, and assumed a position among adjacent towns which served to elevate the character of the people. For a town containing scarcely thirty tax-payers, it certainly accomplished a great work during the first year of its existence.
1838. In 1833 there were thirty-three voters in town. The names added that year were Sumner Chip- man, Peter Coffin, James Harford, Stephen Farrington. John Morse, James M. Foot, William P. Moulton, while those dropped out of last year's list were Stephen Ordway, Joseph Meserve, Thomas J. Ordway. This change in the names in the lists from year to year, will indicate time of removal, or death. A. G. Lary was chosen town clerk; John D. Burbank, Samnel G. Evans, Lot Davis, selectmen; A. G. Lary, treasurer. The votes for governor were for Isaac Hill, eighteen, James Wilson. Jr., eleven. Only two voted in favor of mak- ing the town clerk the register of deeds, and one in favor of a change in the state constitution. John Morse. John D. Burbank, and Andrew G.
